Very, very pretty. Cardinals have such a pretty song, too.

I grew up in an area with a ton of cardinals, so this makes me happy :)

I love how vivid that red is, and mohawk style crest. Who new birds look so good as punk rockers?

^_^

Woot! It's my state's bird.

Stunning, I love the variation in the feathers, the red is just amazing!

Ooh, I'm so happy to see that you drew one of these! I didn't see them often in Minnesota but I see them all the time here and they're so beautiful. I think they're the state bird here.

Ooooh this has got lots of gold shiny in it, doesn't it?

The colours are much Christmas :)

I think cardinals are very pretty birds, but I don't know very much about them at all.

Gorgeous! Cardinals are lovely birds. :)

Ack!

How did I miss this?! I'm such a doofus!

It is very Yule-tidal, all green and red and gold. He's also probably one of the boldest birds you've done lately :) He's got the look in his eye like he's watching someone trying to sneak up on him, but he's ready to leap off the page at any second, like he's saying, 'my peripheral vision is strong and mighty, stupid human!'

I missed giraffe, too... geez, I hate when I don't pay attention to what's going on around me.
